Well it's been awhile since I last submitted something, I thought my muse had left me for warmer climates. However summer is here and I finally quit that par-time job so I could concentrate more on what I like to do. But as luck would have it my Mac acted up this weekend so my submissions are late. Thanks to those of you who have commented on them cause feed back is very important to getting better at this.

At least that was my take on the whole matter.

Uh... that's what "racy" means... "racy" has nothing to do with race... it has to do with sensuality... and that is what I was doing... I know the term "melons" is slang for womens breasts... that's why I made the shirt... I am, after all, a woman with melons.

Also, the bamboo is not right, or else I can't see the design large enough because it seems very flat, lacking in dimension - I can't tell if the bamboo is on the same plane as the panda-fox, above it, below it, behind, in front of it, or whatever....I can't determine the bamboo's position relative to the creature. Improving the perspective & upping the dimensionality of the design over all would make this shirt so much better!

Thanks for the detailed critique, I can definitely see what you mean. It's a little late to resubmit but I'll keep this in mind for future designs.

This design satisfies the first clause -- it is on a red shirt -- therefore it qualifies.

You can argue that that is not what was intended by the rules, but those are the rules as they are written.

Strict adherence to the rules as written is no guarantee of protection from the Rejectionator; see http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=53501 for an example of this. As this version hasn't been rejected, however, I'm guessing the red eyes tread the line closely enough for acceptance.

My bad. I don't use the word, and I have only hear it used improperly ...I guess. And I thought your whole idea was that sliced watermelons make a heart shape and everything else was coincidental... I had no idea you took the" I heart big, juicy melons" road intentionally.

Yeah don't do stuff like that. No nudity, sexual themes, excessive gore, et cetera... Its pretty kid friendly here. Expect a "No" rejection on that kind of stuff every time.
